Ok, for proof that a dymanic change isn't just a change in loudness or softness, go to the site David Weirich has listed a few posts earlier. [And P.S. Mr. Weirich, the compositions are fine, I'm just talking about the quality of the the sound files (which are midi I guess?)]
Ok now listen to one of the pieces. Here when it goes to piano how absolutely obtrusive sounding it is? That's because what you're hearing is a computer-generated rendition of the music, and that program isn't capable of producing the oh-so important CHANGE in TONE COLOR that accompanies dynamic changes.
This is an important point. Many people think of dynamic changes as simply changes in volume. This is not at all true. The color change is at least as and probably more important than the actual change in decibels.
Important musical idea! Take home message!

You have to sing the music, even if you are playing it on an instrument.

An instrument is just an extension of your voice, it must sing as though you are singing

Musical expression....AH.....nice...
Well a pro. trumpet player came to my school recently for a music camp. He is a very good band educator and talks to us about tone colour, tuning, balancing and all sorts of things. He was also talking to us about dynamic changes, which he really has the same idea as Torus. The sound will come out if you are playing with a good tone and tune. There is no definiton for any dynamic so you'll have to listen to the other instruments in the band to balance up the sound. For instance melody parts are to be played for clearly and accents should be not be played too hard but should be tounged (for wind instruments) slightly and fast enough for a clear sound; provided the air support is enough. The staccato doesn't necessarily need to sound really short but the sound after the tounging should be let to extend. NOW thats musical expression. (i don't really suggest to much of physical expression like moving around when playing the clarinet or any other instruments, if you know what i mean.)
